Today was a fun day for Corvette Racing driver Oliver Gavin. This morning he sent out a cryptic tweet suggesting something special was on the way. And when that special something finally arrived, even the rainy weather in the Englishman’s home town of Yardley Hastings couldn’t dampen his spirits when he saw his Arctic White Corvette Stingray Z51 for the first time.

Ah, Jeremy Clarkson. The guy we used to hate because of his biases against America, American cars and the Chevrolet Corvette, who then shocked us with naming the Corvette Stingray his car of the year now appears to be back to his old form. You threw us for a curve last year in your praise of the C7 Corvette Stingray, but seriously, we knew it wouldn’t last.

Now comes your review of the Corvette Z06 in The Sunday Times and I feel like I’ve flashbacked to 2008.

Recently deposed Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson may be down, but he isn’t out. While speculation continues to swirl around the future of both Top Gear and its three presenters – Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, it appears that something may be in the works based on tweet from Clarkson. Yesterday, Clarkson nearly set the internet on fire with a tweet showing a 2015 Corvette Z06 with a film crew in the background.

While wrecking a Corvette seems like a purely American past-time, occasionally we come across a foreign news report of a crashed Corvettes like this red 2008 Convertible we spotted on a Ukrainian website. Like many of the crashes we document here, this one appears to be caused by too much throttle and not enough brakes.

Here’s another Corvette Stingray tuned and updated by GeigerCars of Germany. Geiger has been the go-to tuner for American cars in Europe and this new Corvette Stingray build might just be one of their best yet. Check out some pics of the new GeigerCars Corvette Stingray at the shop of their wrap partners Print Tech.

While modding Corvettes is pretty common here in the States, it’s also a phenomenon that happens across the globe as owners search for more power. One such tuner located in western Austria is O.CT Tuning who recently went to work on the C7 Corvette Stingray.
